| Summary: | Critical engagement with Karl Barth’s doctrine of providence is moderately rare, but Doxological Theology, a doctoral thesis revised for publication, will surely inspire more. Christopher Green has provided a lucid examination of Church Dogmatics III/3, showing how, for Barth, a commitment to belief in God’s providence compels the human creature to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven. Thus Barth’s treatment of providence posits a place for human and angelic involvement in God’s lordship over all things, and Green does well to maintain focus on the place of prayer in Barth’s extensive presentation of providence. |
